LPGA TOUR EVENT IN SOUTH KOREA

Catriona has a day to forget, but

Lorena Ochoa is faring worse!

Women's British Open champion Catriona Matthew had one of her worst rounds for many a long time on the second day of the LPGA Tour's Kolon Championship at Incheon, South Korea.
Only a shot off the pace at the start of the day, the North Berwick-born player sagged from a first-round 67 to a 79, seven over par for the 6,409yd course.
Catriona, pictured, had double bogeys at the short third, the fourth and the 16th which were only partially offset by birdies at the first, fifth and 18th.
The Scot has dropped back to a share of 29th place on 146.
If it is any comfort to Catriona, world No 1 Lorena Ochoa fared even worse! The Mexican ace had a 77 for 149, which puts her in joint 49th place - 10 shots behind the joint leaders, two South Korean players.
